A peasant woman with rolls of canvas on her shoulder and in her hands 1917

Zinaida Serebriakova's 1917 painting, "A peasant woman with rolls of canvas on her shoulder and in her hands," depicts a young woman in traditional attire, carrying a bundle of fabric. The artist, known for her expressive portrayal of women, captures the subject’s quiet strength and dignity, her gaze lowered as she moves with purpose. The loose brushstrokes and muted color palette create a sense of realism, highlighting the woman's physical presence and the weight of her labor. This work is a testament to Serebriakova's ability to convey the daily struggles and resilience of ordinary people, reflecting the social realities of her time.
